Director, Rose Massett
Rose is a graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where she earned a degree in Film and Television production, with an emphasis on producing and entertainment business. She has worked with several non-profits including Operation Smile. In 2010, she traveled to India to volunteer on a medical mission, where her passion to create films that inspire social change was born. Driven by her passion to tell important stories, and her desire to inspire social change through film, Rose continues her love of film and television through writing, producing and directing in Los Angeles.
Director’s Statement
This film was brought into fruition in late 2016 when the refugee crisis was slowly starting to fade into the backs of people’s mind, and away from the nightly news. When we arrived in Greece, what we saw was a very real, and very immediate need of thousands of people across Greece, and a trend that was happening worldwide. Over the last year and a half, the topics of immigration and the refugee crisis have become more relevant than ever, and we hope that the stories in ‘Refugee Is Not My Name’ will not only prove that the crisis is alive and urgent as ever, but also that the stories of loss and hope don’t belong to just them, but to all of us.
